NJ moves to guarantee newborns have insurance

The Associated Press

TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey officials want to guarantee that all children born in the state are covered by health insurance before they leave the hospital.

A six-month pilot program announced Thursday mandates that staff at nine participating hospitals verify that newborns have insurance.

Under "Insured for Sure," officials will assist uninsured parents to submit a one-page NJ FamilyCare application online. The program offers free or subsidized health insurance coverage to children from lower-income families and, in some cases, covers their parents.
